“False claim by SHRP”

By himalayanreview


SHIVADEEP RAI
Gangtok: “Sikkim Himali Rajya Parishad (SHRP) is playing a very dirty game of cheap publicity and creating confusion among the people of Sikkim by misleading them”, said Mr. Dorji Namgyal, founder member and former General Secretary of Sikkim Democratic Front (SDF) Party in a press meet on February 27 at Namnang.
He said that the news of formation of block level women and youth committees of Namnang by SHRP in their meeting at Namnang area, which was published in a local English daily newspaper on February 26, is “totally false” and has created confusion amongst the people of Namnang area. “The so called committee members named in the report are not the residents of Namnang as falsely claimed by SHRP”, Mr. Namgyal said. He clarfied that the names mentioned as SHRP committee members are of the residents of Star Hall premises which is under MG Marg area. “The persons who have been included in the SHRP committee are innocent and unaware of the fact about a dirty game of SHRP”, Mr. Namgyal said.
“The false news is confusing and misleading the people”, he said, adding, “The news in a press release mentions Mrs. Maya Rai, whose name is included in Namnang Block Level Women Committee of SHRP. She is a housewife and a member of SDF Party having membership number 56814 and most of the other persons included in the committee are students. Mr. Sonam Bhutia, who is falsely quoted as the president of Namnang Block Level Youth Committee of SHRP informed that he is unaware of this development”.
Mr. Namgyal also mentioned the inclusion of Dorji Namgyal of Namnang as the Joint Secretary of Namnang youth committee of SHRP. “We searched the whole Namnang area but could not been able to find any person of this name except myself”, he said in astonishment. Humorously he said, “I would like to request SHRP to please assist me in finding another Dorji Namgyal of Namnang”. It is a very cheap publicity of SHRP intended to mislead the innocent people of Sikkim, he said. Other SDF members present informed that this kind of false propaganda was done earlier also by SHRP and the name of a dead person was included in a committee formed by SHRP. In the press meet, those present included some of the persons named as SHRP committee members. This proved that the published “news” is factually wrong and false.

This was a national song of Sikkim sung in the Nepali language during the monarchy system. During the merger with India, the song got banned and later re-released. Two words on the 8th para, which earlier said 'Rajah rah Rani,' were replaced with "Janmah bhumi."     This song was dedicated to the King and Queen of Sikkim. The song lyrics were penned by Sanu Lama, and the music was composed by Dushyant Lama.  The song was first sung on the birth anniversary of Chogyal Palden Thondup Namgyal on April 4, 1970, at Gangtok by Aruna Lama, Dawa Lama, and Manikamal Chettri.    JANHA BAGCHA TEESTA RANGIT,  JAHAN KANCHENDZONGA SEER   YEHI HO HAMRO DHANA KO DESH,  TAPAWAN HO PYARO SIKKIM     INTERLUDE     PHULCHAN YEHA AANGANAI MAA,  CHAAP , GURAS, SUNAKHARI   SWARGASARI SUNDAR DESH KO  HAMRO PYARO PYARO JANMAHBHUMI     JANHA BAGCHA……     BATASHLE BOKCHAA YAHA,  TATHAGAT KO AAMAR WAANI ...

By himalayanreview
Sikkim (India)   Image by Mario Fabretto Description of the flag Historical flags 1877 - c. 1914 c. 1914 - 1962 1962 - 1967 Description of the flag From Barraclough (1971):  "Sikkim, formerly a protectorate of India, was incorporated as the twenty-second state of the union in May 1975, and the office of the hereditary ruler, the Chogyal , was abolished. Sikkim has, or had, a flag of white with a red border all round, and a yellow Chakra (fimbriated in red) in the centre."  "...the Chakra [is] a Buddhist symbol representing the Law of Dharma , or eternal change." The Chakra on the flag of Sikkim is different then the one on India's flag. It has eight spokes rather than the many spokes on India's, and has an ornate "nub" on the wheel at the head of each spoke. Don Hagemann, 28 November 1995 [editor's note: The source of this quote is not Barraclough (1971), but probably a later edition of the ...
